Meeting The Parents

Lil would be lying to herself if she said she wasn't nervous for tonight. She was meeting Tommy's parents for the first time and she had all kinds of horrible scenarios running through her head. She turned to Phil and Kimi who were sitting on her bed "What if they don't like me?"

Phil threw his head back and groaned "They'll like you, Lillian."

"They'd be crazy not to." Kimi said giving her a smile.

"But what if-"

"No!" Phil said looking at her "Nothing bad is going to happen" Kimi nodded in agreement.

"You look beautiful, you're nice, you managed to get their son to be nice, how could they not like you?" Kimi said.

Lil took a deep breath calming herself down "You're right. Everything will be fine." she turned to look at her clock before opening her door "Now get out of my room" she said pointing towards the hall.

Phil and Kimi rolled their eyes and got off Lil's bed and walked into the hall, Lil following them. Phil stopped at his door "Don't do anything too embarrassing" he said with a laugh.

"I don't plan on it." she said giving him a smile and a wave before walking down the stairs.

Kimi walked over to the window and watched Lil walk over to Tommy's "Do you really think she'll be okay?"

Phil smiled and wrapped his arms around her waist "She'll be fine."

Lil took another deep breath before knocking on the door. Someone pulled it open and she sighed in relief when she saw Tommy. He smiled at her and stepped aside letting her in "You're looking beautiful tonight." he said and kissed her cheek.

She smiled "Thank you. I'm a little nervous for this"

Tommy laughed and shook his head, holding his hand out for her to take it "Don't be nervous. My parents are pretty cool. My brother though... He can be a little odd." Lil laughed and took his hand as he led her to the kitchen where his mom was "Mom?"

Didi was turned, facing the stove, cooking. She didn't bother turning around to look at him "Yes Tommy?"

"Lil's here."

Didi looked over her shoulder at them and smiled before turning completely around and walking over to them, taking Lil's free hand and shaking it "It's so good to finally meet you!"

"It's nice to meet you too, Mrs. Pickles" she gave her a smile.

"Oh please, call me Didi." she said turning back to the stove.

Tommy then led Lil to the basement where Stu was. He was over at his workbench working on a new invention. Lil raised an eyebrow looking at Tommy "What's he doing?"

"Inventing. My dad is an inventor" he said leading her down the rest of the stairs.

Stu turned around to get something and saw Tommy and Lil "Hey Tommy," he then turned his attention to Lil "And you must be the girlfriend, Lil. I'm Stu. Oh, Tommy, let me know when dinner is ready. I have to finish this invention"

"Sure thing, dad" Tommy said walking back up the stairs with Lil.

"Am I meeting your brother next?"

Tommy nodded and walked into the living room "Hey D," Dil turned around to look at them "This is Lil."

"Greetings, Lil" Dil said without getting up "They told me you'd be here tonight"

Lil smiled and opened her mouth to say something but Tommy interrupted her "By they, he means aliens." he shrugged.

"Aliens?"

Tommy nodded and walked back to the kitchen, sitting at the table, Lil sitting next to him. "Have your nerves eased up?"

Lil nodded "A little bit. Everyone seems nice" Didi knocked on the basement door, getting Stu's attention for dinner. She called to Dil and then started making two plates and set them in front of Tommy and Lil.

Lil thanked her and Tommy stood up to get them something to drink. He set one down by Lil's plate and then sat back down next to her.

The rest of his family joined them and the meal was eaten in silence. Except for the occasional talking between Tommy and Dil about aliens, Dil obviously being the one to start the conversation.

Tommy picked Lil's plate up when she was done and took it to the sink. Lil smiled at Didi "That was really good, thank you."

"Oh, it was no problem." Didi smiled at Tommy when he sat back down "It's about time you've brought a girlfriend over"

Lil turned to look at Tommy and smiled "None of your girlfriends have met your parents?"

Tommy shook his head and reached for Lil's hand under the table "I didn't think they would like any of them."

"Tommy tends to date girls that are... Public goods." Dil said folding his arms on the table "You're the first one that's not."

Tommy's eyes widened and Lil tried to keep herself from laughing. Didi turned to Dil "Public goods?"

"Sluts, mom." Dil said clarifying what he meant before standing up and leaving.

"Well, I'm going to walk Lil home." Tommy said standing up before Didi could say anything else.

Lil walked out of the front door, Tommy right behind her. She knew the kind of girls that Tommy usually dated, any girl who would sleep with him. And honestly, Lil was surprised that he hasn't tried anything. She was also happy that he didn't. Their relationship was going pretty good so far, and she was actually happy. She could tell that Phil was actually starting to like Tommy, and that's the part that made her happy.

Her and Tommy walked into her house and Lil walked into the kitchen. It was Tommy's turn to meet her parents. He leaned toward her "Should I be scared of your dad?"

Phil walked by when he asked and he laughed "There is no reason to be scared of our dad."

"It's their mom. Fear their mom" Kimi said walking in the kitchen with Phil.

Tommy looked at Lil and raised an eyebrow "What does that mean?"

She laughed and grabbed his arm, leading him to the basement "You'll see." she opened the door to the garage "Mom, are you in here?"

"Yep, over her Lily."

Lil pulled Tommy over to her and smiled "Mom, this is Tommy."

Betty stopped what she was doing and turned to look at them "You're Didi and Stu's oldest, right?"

"Yes ma'am" he said giving her a smile.

"Pleasure to meet ya," she shook his hand "tell your parents hello for me."

He nodded and Lil led him back upstairs. She didn't know where her dad was so she decided that he could meet him on another day. She walked towards the front door and opened it, walking outside "I actually had a good night. I liked your family" she said giving him a smile.

"Your mom seems... Nice" Tommy said with a laugh. He pulled her into a hug "You'll have to come over more often now."

Lil laughed and pulled away "Oh, I will." she gave him a kiss and walked towards her door "I'll be seeing you tomorrow."

A/N: I honestly don't like this chapter, but I felt it was needed to point out that he's more serious about Lil than everyone else. This chapter sucks, I know lol. But the next one will be a million times better, I promise!
